4 years ago Also having this same issue, looks like my ISP set up some aggressive caching through Cloudflare and downloads to private packages stop working when they turn that on (they seem to turn it on on Fridays and off on Mondays 🙄 ). Is there a way to bypass that without the ISP changing their config?
As a workaround I just connect from my mobile network whenever I'm about to do an install, but it's very annoying.
Thanks!

4 years ago I just started running into this problem after using npm for years. None of the reasons described on the Cloudflare CAPTCHA page apply to me -- they seem to suggest this has something to do with malware, but I don't think that's actually the case.

What / Why
I have a ubuntu server 18.04 in north america and installed nodejs / npm from official repositories. On this specific server, which has no specific network configuration, no vpn, nothing unsual, when trying to run "npm install" commands, it return a 403 error, cause the request is getting a cloudflare page asking for a captcha. I also don't have any specific configuration on npm cli. Everything is brand as new, virgin as it is.

Expected Behavior
As I have configured on other servers, the package should be installed instead of appearing that html cloudflare asking for a captcha response.
I could use a VPN service to surround the problem, however... this could happen on other servers and to anyone else. I already tried to change the registry to HTTP instead of HTTPS.
Thank you
